Personally I believe that the mayor has made a good choice. Brexit Crisis has added much more chaos in London, currency, housing price and employment rate have dramatically plumped down, while price of commondies is increasing crazily. There's simply too many things to do for British government. However, it's more important to recognize what caused Brexit, and the central conflict in the society. In recent years, as more European immigrants flew into Britain, and terror attack and violence happened frequently, the primary concern of British people has shifted to economy to safety and cultural cognition. Thus although all the politicians and economists had warned people to stay on EU, most citizens still voted to escape. At this time, it's crucial to save Britain not only from economic depressions, but also cultural reinforcement, and developing creative industry seems like a good idea. Also as Pound dropped down, many tourists might be attracted to Britain at this time, so it would be wise to wave the cultural signboard, and lead them into the theaters.
I'm glad that steps are being taken to ensure the vibrant, global culture of London is being protected in the aftermath of Brexit. London is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world; I'm fairly sure it's the city where you can find the most languages being spoken. Due to it's extremely global culture, it's a haven for art that mixes cultures together in new ways. It's also a huge hub for theater; London and New York have an overwhelming amount of productions happening constantly, and the diverse community that work on productions make each show original. The change in immigration policy will certainly change which people given opportunities to work on shows. The diversity of a cast and crew help to make each show unique and unless measures are taken to ensure the cultural makeup of London is able to remain the same in the aftermath of the departure from the EU, than London's art scene will suffer.
